From form 1 to individual form 2-1, 2-2 as shown...
According to the present invention, the following processing is performed in creating the image.

That is, (1) When creating the piece sheet 2-1, the section A figure 3 is read in the form of a video signal, and is printed as the figure 6 at a predetermined position without performing magnification conversion.

(2) Read the Otsu-ku figure 4 in the same way, double the magnification, and print it as a figure 7 at a predetermined position.

(3) The C-section figure 5-1 is read in the same way, the magnification is increased to 1/2, and the figure is printed at a predetermined position as the figure 8-1.

(4) When creating Individual Invoice 2-2, the above (1), (
At the same time as performing the process 2), read the block figure 5-2 in the same way, increase the magnification to 1/2, and place the figure 8-2 in the predetermined position.
Print as 2.

In performing the format conversion process as described above, the characters (handwritten characters) on the form 1 are converted into electrical signals by photoelectric conversion.

In the case of the present invention, digital information of, for example, 40×40 mesh is obtained for one character.

By doing this, even if some bits are dropped during bit processing or noise bits are added,
It becomes possible to use characters that can be fully understood on the created form.

In one embodiment of the present invention, this point is utilized to perform the above magnification conversion.

FIGS. 2A to 2C show explanatory diagrams illustrating this process.

In the figure, 9 represents bit information read from the form 1, 10 represents bit information with a magnification of 1/2, and 11 represents bit information with a magnification of 2x.

In order to obtain bit information 10 obtained by multiplying the given bit information 9 by a factor of 1/2, only the bits indicated by black circles in FIG. 2A are extracted.

Further, in order to obtain bit information 11 which is obtained by multiplying the given bit information 9 by a factor of 2, each bit shown in FIG. 2A is increased to 4 bits.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention for executing the above processing.

In the figure, 1 is a given sheet, 2 is an individual sheet with a different format, 12 is a photoelectric conversion means, 13 is a buffer memory for one page, 14 is a reading position designation section, and 15 is a video cutout control section that buffers・The content on the memory 13 is read out by specifying an address and separated from the others. 16 is a cutout video buffer.
17 is a magnification specifying section; 18 is a cut-out video adjustment circuit that performs processing related to FIG. 2 according to the specified magnification; and 19 is an output. 20 is an output position control section that accesses a print video buffer, which will be described later, in accordance with the address corresponding to the contents of the specification section 19; 21 is a section for printing; A video buffer stores graphic information in the same format as, for example, the format shown in FIG. It represents the husband who prints vote 2.

Further, FIG. 4 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the cut-out video adjustment circuit shown in FIG. 3.

Reference numerals 16, 17, 18, and 21 in the figure correspond to those in FIG. 3, 23 is an expansion/contraction determination section, 24 is an expansion/contraction switching section, and 25 is a Y
26 is an X-direction thinning processing section, 27 is a Y-direction enlargement processing section, 28 is an X-direction enlargement processing section, and 29 is an expansion/contraction switching section.

In the case of the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the form 1 shown in FIG.
The pages are stored on the buffer memory 13.

Then, when the reading position specifying section 14 specifies the address of, for example, the section A figure 3 shown in FIG. Set to .

In the case of the process shown in Figure 1, the magnification is 1 for Section A figure 3.
, and the magnification specifying section 17 is set to a magnification of "1".

As a result, the expansion/contraction determination unit 23 shown in FIG.
After determining this, the cutout video adjustment circuit 18 passes through the processing units 25 and 26 without performing magnification conversion, and
The contents of the buffer register 16 are supplied to the print video buffer 21.

At this time, if it is assumed that the output position specifying unit 19 specifies the position of the converted section A figure 6 shown in FIG.
Access the address in 1.

As a result, the output of the adjustment circuit 18 is written to the corresponding address position on the print video buffer 21.

Similarly, the Otsu-ku figure 4 shown in FIG. Hei-ku figure 5-1
is converted to a magnification of 1/2 via the processing units 25 and 26, and then written at the position of the converted C-ward figure 8-1.

In this state, since all the information regarding the individual ticket 2-1 has been written in the print video buffer 21, the reading control unit 2-1
The contents of the buffer 21 are read out continuously according to instructions from the buffer 21, and are finally printed out as the individual ticket 2 (in this case, 2-1).

When creating the individual ticket 2-2, there is no difference from the case of creating the individual ticket 2-1, except that the D-ku diagram 5-2 is used instead of the C-ku diagram 5-1 in the above explanation.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to freely create bulletin boards with different formats from a given bulletin board.

During this time, each character is digitized using information such as a 40x40 mesh, so even if the bit information changes slightly, it can be printed correctly.

It is also extremely easy to convert the magnification.
